SAJ has become the first company to secure a Clean Energy Council listing under the mandatory SA TS 5398:2025 standard. The certification was awarded following the company's collaboration with DEKRA to meet local Australian energy storage requirements.
Why it matters
This listing aligns the SAJ integrated solar inverter and battery management system with evolving national safety protocols. It ensures the product meets the stringent compliance measures required for the Australian market as regulations tighten.
DEKRA, the firm that facilitated the certification, reported a global revenue of 4.4 billion euros in 2025. The organisation currently employs 48,000 staff members across 60 countries.
The players
SAJ
An energy technology company that specialises in the manufacturing of solar inverters and battery storage systems.
DEKRA
A global testing, inspection, and certification firm that provides safety and quality services for automotive and energy products.
Clean Energy Council
The peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia that manages the accreditation and listing of energy storage equipment.
The details
SAJ integrated its solar inverter, battery storage, and energy management system into a unified platform to comply with Australian access requirements. The company also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with DEKRA to support ongoing certification efforts.
Timeline
29 October 2026: DEKRA presented SAJ with the EESS certification and Clean Energy Council listing.
2027: The SA TS 5398:2025 standard will formally replace the existing Battery Performance Guide.
Roadmap
The introduction of the SA TS 5398:2025 standard signals a broader movement toward rigorous, unified safety frameworks in the Australian renewable sector. This regulatory shift forces manufacturers to standardise hardware as the nation transitions away from older guidelines.
Australians looking to install solar and battery systems can expect a new benchmark for device safety and integration. The certification process provides assurance that these systems meet modern technical specifications required for local energy infrastructure.
The takeaway
The move to the SA TS 5398:2025 standard reflects a tightening of safety requirements for home energy storage devices in Australia. Consumers should verify that any new battery equipment carries current certifications to ensure future regulatory compliance.
What happens next
The Clean Energy Council will cease accepting applications under the previous Battery Performance Guide requirements as the 2027 transition deadline approaches.
